Our Take

Philip Jeays' latest album, "Take the Slow Train," is a charming journey through the eccentric mind of this veteran singer-songwriter. With a voice that could charm the birds out of the trees and lyrics that are as sharp as a razor blade, Jeays delivers a collection of songs that are equal parts whimsical and profound.

From the whimsical "Penny Dreadful" to the haunting "Night Song," Jeays showcases his storytelling prowess with a masterful blend of wit and melancholy. His eclectic mix of folk, pop, and cabaret influences creates a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh, with melodies that will have you tapping your feet one minute and wiping away tears the next.

But what truly sets Jeays apart from other artists is his unique ability to craft characters and narratives that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Whether he's singing about lost love, political satire, or the simple joys of life, Jeays' music has a way of getting under your skin and staying with you long after the final notes have faded away.

So if you're in the mood for some thought-provoking lyrics, catchy melodies, and a healthy dose of quirkiness, hop on board "Take the Slow Train" and let Philip Jeays take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't want to miss this ride. All aboard!
